looks like the granny will be getting boosted..... got turbo setup.. got head, got push rods, getting lifters... just need 5k bottom end....

Can anyone help??

 

hoping for 80-100rwkw... but will be running standard 4 speed and diff.. so i don't have to chop or do anything stupid..

heres a little picture of the time bomb 4k ill be wacking in until i find a 5k bottom end..

just need a few things before i start fitting it..

Slowly getting bits done.. Decided to run an elec fuel pump rather than standard. Got regulator and pressure gauge sitting in bay ready for motor install.. Also got my oil feed line today.. Just waiting on my pump and have to get someone to weld in a return line in my sump. Then in she goes.. Then bang she goes.. But hope it last till I build the 5k

How high does the turbo sit? If high enough you could make a blank off plate for the fuel pump and tap a return fitting into that! Don't want it up hill though.

Pretty sure turbo is higher than fuel pump. I'll look into that but where the return line faces it may be easier to go to sump.. Will have to have a look today, thanks for the idea

thats cool, goodluck with keeping it together haha

cheers

motor sitting in engine bay..

need some 4k gearbox bolts as my K bolts have a different thread, and need some allen key bolts so i can mount my manifold..

 

Hopefully my MSD 6BTM will arrive soon also... slowly getting there.

 

taken it around the block yesterday with exhaust finishing around the firewall..

Couldnt rev it hard as the neighbours may get upset .... boost gauge didnt show any boost?

 

could this be the lack of back pressure? not revving hard enough?? maybe screwed turbo?

 

can hear it spool but showing nothing....

if its a t2 hi flow any idea what sort of revs i should see psi?

 

atlest it sounds cool now :)

just happy it moves at the moment.. i had my doubts

Try again and either rev it a bit harder our load it up a bit more in a higher gear. I'd imagine with a t2 you should be seeing boost pretty early.

could this be the lack of back pressure?

 

no back pressure after the turbo is the best thing for a turbo so thats not the problem

 

sounds like a silly question but is the boost gauge hooked up right to a boosted pipe?

 

try braking and accelerating at the same time to load it up and make some boost without flying up the road

Where is the boost gauge connected?

Boost gauge is connected in the cross over pipe from the inlet manifold to turbo.. So it should be OK... Only thing I can think of is that its making boost but possibly because there is fuel in the boost line it is blocking flow to the gauge? I'd assume the pressure would bypass the fuel.. But I dunno.. Need to take it for a drive again.. But can't be farked moving the wife's escort out the way..

Cleaning cob webs out.. still needs an exhaust.. been lazy.. I did see a tiny 3psi :( need more boost and a fuel pressure regulator.. standard pump is flooding carby...

Exhaust was installed yesterday... A little silent... but 2.5" so flow should be fine... shows 10psi now and seems to move quite well... better than the old K :) should be keeping up with traffic a little better now

After a month or so of driving I'm looking into the future.... And future looks like I need efi and more boost

 

Time to start collecting bits
